investigators searched the home of Robert Cain, an LAPD officer
previously assigned to 77th Street Area, as part of an ongoing

the illegal possession and manufacturing of assault rifles.

San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department in Rancho Cucamonga and
was booked on the weapon charges. Cain is currently in custody in
San Bernardino County and his bail has been set at $500,000.
